E15: Building the Quai Network - Solving the Blockchain Trilemma with Alan Orwick
Summary
In this episode, Alan Orwick, the CEO and founder of Dominant Strategies, the development company behind Quai Network, discusses the background and development of Quai, a blockchain platform. He talks about his journey in the crypto space, including his involvement in the Texas Blockchain organization at the University of Texas. Alan explains how Quai solves the blockchain trilemma using a sharding approach and merged mining. He also discusses the future of Quai, including its plans for ecosystem growth and partnerships with other blockchains.
Quai is the only scalable Proof of Work blockchain with EVM-compatible smart contracts. It aims to tap into the compute economy and revolutionize Proof of Work. The project has a global community, with active participation from miners in Vietnam, Europe, and Texas.
